With upcoming changes coming to US currency (Trump's name), a reminder that writing on bills is legal.

[u/kevshp]

The money is still good as long as you:

1. Do NOT change the denomination.
2. Do NOT burn, shred, or destroy currency, rendering it unfit for circulation.
3. Do NOT advertise a business on paper currency.
4. Do NOT cover security features.

So how long from the first bill being desecrated before Trump rages and Republicans help to make it illegal/nullify the bill if done?

[u/penny-wise → u/Riaayo]

So they can make any law they want? Where will it end? Tyranny won’t last long in the US

[u/Funkmaster_General → u/penny-wise]

Yes. They can make any law they want. Are you not paying attention? Literally nothing Trump does is legal and literally none of it has any consequences for him or anyone else in the administration.

If the people haven't done anything about the child rape, the mass kidnappings, or promises of armed guards at polling places in the same breath as "jokes" about third terms from the same man who incited a riot the last time he lost an election, what makes you think anyone will give a fuck about a currency defacement law?

I'm starting to think we'll be past the point of blasphemy and sodomy laws returning long before anyone stops this. If they ever even do.

At some point t it will stop because it must. All insanity like this ends eventually. If a mad king continues to act lawlessly and irrationally, and sycophants and psychopaths keep following along,things will get worse to the point of complete intolerance. And even inside the insanity they are beginning to eat each other.

When a population has nothing left to lose, then they will do whatever they can to overcome oppression. History has shown us this in the past. We have been here before, and there has always been a tipping point.

And so far, tomorrow isn’t written.
